• Procedural keep - Represented her country at the indisputably notable Miss Universe. That is usually sufficient for a stub article. Mabalu (talk) 09:57, 3 September 2014 (UTC)

  A simple Google Test gives a number of less than 15 thousands hits, including doubles, related and social media. That boiled down to a massive 250 unique hits. The Banner talk 10:45, 3 September 2014 (UTC)

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

• Redirect to Miss Angola, along with four or five others who are in the same boat (i.e. did not place in the Miss Universe contest). Clarityfiend (talk) 10:59, 9 September 2014 (UTC)
• Procedural keep is a good description. This slew of nominations looks like an attack on this traditional claim to notability. The amount of coverage every one of these contestants get, at what is essentially a media event, certainly meets GNG. I found the LA Times, Seattle P/I and Las Vegas Sun does an individual article on each contestant, much less the celebrity and fashion magazines that do coverage on each contestant. And to show the WP:BEFORE bad faith nomination of this particular contestant, there is an article I sourced in Time Magazine of her modeling a controversial national costume, apparently missed because the OP didn't bother to look. I think all of these noms should be Keep wholesale with the same disregard the OP used in making the noms. Trackinfo (talk) 18:21, 9 September 2014 (UTC)

• FYI: Misplaced Pages:Sockpuppet investigations/Mrdhimas. And instead of throwing with PAs, you better start reading what I wrote before. The Banner talk 20:12, 9 September 2014 (UTC)

Are you suggesting that because the article creator/subsequent editors are in cahoots with the pagent that somehow it makes the article irrelevant? There probably are commercial interests involved. Her modeling career certainly is promoted. But it would be irresponsible for wikipedia to remove all content that might be supporting commercial interests. We report facts. You cannot deny that she won the National title and that she appeared at the World patent. Commercial and prearranged as that press event is, that does not erase the press coverage she got.

As the notability Guidelines state:

In particular, if reliable sources cover the person only in the context of a single event, and if that person otherwise remains, or is likely to remain, a low-profile individual, we should generally avoid having a biographical article on that individual.

Misplaced Pages is a lagging indicator of notability. Just as a lagging economic indicator indicates what the economy was doing in the past, a topic is "notable" in Misplaced Pages terms only if the outside world has already "taken notice of it". As such, brief bursts of news coverage may not be sufficient signs of notability, while sustained coverage would be, as described by notability of events.
